During her performance of “Juno” at the Chicago music festival, Carpenter noticed three very familiar faces in the front row: TWICE members Jihyo, Sana, and Momo. Stopping mid-performance, she leaned into the moment with playful banter that’s quickly gone viral across TikTok and X.
“Who are you guys? Where are you from?” she asked, to which they replied: “Japan!” With a grin, Carpenter followed up with her signature bold humor: “Are you single? Would you like to get married?”
Then came the iconic twist — she whipped out a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs and joked, “If I were to give you these handcuffs… then I could marry all three of you, right?” The crowd roared as she added, “Oh my God, I’ve been dreaming about you,” before blowing kisses and concluding the moment with her infamous “arrest for being too hot” gag.
While Carpenter didn’t cover any TWICE songs during the show, she has previously expressed her admiration for the group, including a past cover of their bubbly hit “Candy Pop.” TWICE stayed in the audience for the remainder of her set, enjoying the lively atmosphere alongside fans.
Fans are calling it a “cultural crossover we didn’t know we needed,” with clips circulating online racking up millions of views within hours. It’s a feel-good reminder of the global camaraderie that only music — and a little theatrical flair — can bring to life.
